The Ballad

Slowly headed home
On a drive alone
Shook me to the core
Rattled every bone
Heard it in the song
Felt it in the tune
And every single word
The rhythms and the blues

And there’s no way they know
The life that I have led but
The ballad on the radio
A voice inside my head saying

I know you
All that you're afraid and everything you're made of
Your problems too
I’ll sing to you your struggles your triumphs and your love

With every little word
And every single beat
Every twist and turn
I hear a piece of me
With every little word
And every single beat
Every twist and turn
I hear a piece of me

For a minute I lost myself
And any track of time
I’ll watch the street stretch in front of me
And feel the rhythm of the ride
For a moment there’s nothing else it’s
All just on my mind
Just a beat and a melody
And everything I feel inside
And with every word and every single beat
I feel like it’s my own tale being to told right back to me
And with every turn I hear a piece of me
From a song I’ve never heard from someone who has
Never heard of me

And there’s no way they know
The life that I have led but
The ballad on the radio
A voice inside my head saying

I know you
All that you're afraid and everything you're made of
Your problems too
I’ll sing to you your struggles your triumphs and your love

With every single word
And every little beat
Every twist and turn
I hear a piece of me
With every little word
And every single beat
Every twist and turn
I hear a piece of me
